TE Evan Engram was outsnapped by Scott Simonson 18-17. He played just 32% of snaps. But he took the new role in stride and made perhaps biggest play of the game with a 54-yard catch + run late in game.
"If I'm going to be pissy, if I'm going to be selfish, if I'm going to be mad then I'm not going to be prepared, not going to be ready for that time when I'm needed," Engram said. He was ready. What was he thinking after that key play which he admitted was a little extra special? "Should've scored!"

Eli Manning, Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr. are finally in sync, giving the Giants a reason for hope.

Saquon Barkley said he owes Eli Manning one. Thought he should've made catch deep down right sideline. He's done it countless times in practice. It was Eli's only incompletion.

Saquon Barkley ran for a career-high 142 yards and scored three touchdowns as the New York Giants held off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-35 on Sunday to win consecutive games for the first time since December 2016.
